The Homes of England.

Oliver Wendell Holmes.
1t is very delightful to find ones
self in one of these English country
residences. The house is commonly
old, and has history. It is often
times itself a record, like that old
farmhouse my friend John Bellows
wrote to me about, which chronicled
half a dozen reigns by various archi-
tectural marks as exactly as if it had
been an official register. tThe stately
homes of England" as we..see them at
Wilton and Longford Castle, are not
more admirable in their splendors
than "the blessed homes of. England"
in their modest beauty. Everywhere
one may see her old parsonages by
the side of ivy-mantled churches, and
the comfortable mansions where
generations OF country squires' have
lived in peace, while their sons have
gone forth to fight England's battles,
and carry her flags of war and com.
merce all over the world. We in
America can hardly be said to have
such possession as q family home.
We encamp-not under canvass, but
in fabrics of wood Or more lasting
materials, which are pulled down aft.
or q brief occupancy by the builders,
and possibly their children, or are
modernized so that the former dwell
ers in them would never recognize
their old habiuations.

From the Troy Press.
Husband and wife had q little

window with persistent intentness.
Thus an hour and thirty miles passed.
A lady entered the car. Husband
dropped his paper and looked at her
admiringly.
"Ah." said he. that's fine woman.
And widow, too. Don't you think
she's handsome2"

Four Famous Hot Days.

From the Chicago News.
Said Col. Phil. Hoyne recently:
''The hottest day in the history OF
Chicago was July 4, 1887. At noon
that day the thermometer registered
1913 degrees in the shade. The lake
stewed and steamed like tea-kettle
and fish foated ashore al ready boiled
and with cream gravy on Them"
"June 20, 1912, was the hottest
day ever knew Of" said Long John
Wentworth. II was living on farm
then-the Cooley farm, near where
Kinsley's restaurant stands now. 1t
was SO hot that we haSl to hang the
thermometer In the we'll and keep fan
ming it to prevent it frofn bursting"
"On August 6, 1885," said Amos
Tucker. I'VE caught a blazer. Along
about sunset l went out, to the barn
yard to see how the stock was getting
along. We had twelve fine hogs just
ready for the market. Well, when !
got to the barnyard all" / conld find
OF them hogs was twelve buckets OF
leaf lard"
"The hottest day I ever knew OF
was July Is, 1862" said Jonathan
Young Scammon. "I1 remember the
exact date, because ona the morning OF
that day onr hens all laid hard boiled
eggs"

In Vanity Fair.

Through Vanity Fair, in days Of old,
There passed a maiden with locks of gold,
And peddler opened his tempting pack,
Crying: 20, my pretty lass! what dye lack 2
Here's many wear
Costly and rare,
Come, buy-oh, come, buyl
In Vanity Fair"
"Silks and satins are not for me;
Lace is for damsels Of high degree;
The lads would laugh In our country town
If came clad in broidered gown;
But yet there's ware,
Precious and rare,
fai6 would buy me
In Vanity Fair.
''Pray, sell me, sir, from your motley store
A heart that will love me forevermore
That, whether the world would praise or blame
Through sorrow or joy will be still the same.
IT'S the only ware
For which care
Mid all the treasures
In Vanity FAIR
"Much 1t grieves me, o. lassie, dear"
The peddler said; "but greatly fear
The hearts that loved in the old sweet way
Have been out of fashion this many day;
And gilded care
Is all the wear
i. You will get for your money
In Vanity Fair.'

Eagles Grow Big in GEORGIA.

Eagles Grow Big in Georgia.
On the 9Th day of this month saw a
fight between an eagle and a buzzard.
Twas walking beside the swamp, about
two miles below my plantation, when I
heard roaring sound like that made
by train in rapid motion, or by
heavy wind. The noise approached
nearer and nearer, and grew louder
and louder. l looked all around but
could see nothing, and was at a loss to
know what caused the disturbance until
l happened to look up, when l saw two
large fowls fighting in mid air. about
the height of tall pine tree from the
ground.
In short while both fell to tho
ground. only about twenty steps from
me. Then [ saw that 1t was a large
eagle which had caught buzzard as
her prey. For three minutes I never
saw feathers fly so in my life. The
eagle hoped off few feet distant, and
warily surveyed her prey. She then
hoped up to the buzzard, turned it
over with one claw, and. becoming
satisfied that it was dead, flew up into
pine and gave two screams. which
could easily have been heard a mile.
She sailed of over the swamp, return
ing in a short while with four young
eagles about the size of a large hawk.
They oil pitched upon the buzzard. and
commenced tearing it in pieces.
Just such chatting never heard.
There was a grounding feeding near
by. and. no doubt, smelling the blood.
trotted up to where the eagles were.
The old mother eagle screamed and
struck the hog. cutting one of the hogs
ears off even with its head. The hog
retreated, and the eagle struck it again.
this time taking off part of its tail.
The eagle, am satisfied. would meas.

and then she and the baby have their

l was on the brink! on tho brink
whom somehow the mercy of God
saved me !"
The passionate recital brought relief;
then the husband and wife talked calm
ly together for hours. But long before
the lengthy conference was ended. John
Chisholm had tested the look of half
revealed firmness and strength that for
him had always lurked in the depth Of
his wife's brown eyes.
Early the next morning Helen CHS
holm called at an engraver's and coun-
fernandez the order she had left the
day before. Then she raped lightly
to the minister's door. and with =
womanly ring in her young voice, in
vited Mrs. Price with her family to
dine with her on Christmas day. Next
a note of invitation WAS dispatched to
poor old Uncle Timothy.
And the quiet pleasure of the day SO
impressed Uncle Timothy. it really
formed new topic of thought for
little while. but only for Q little
while.
There soon came a memorable day
when some legal gentleman called on
the old man and informed him that his
claims on the land within the city linn
its were valid after all. Aud the reac-
ton proved too much for his worn
mind. He quietly settled his affairs.
remembering John Chisholm's patience
and kindness to good purpose. and his
tardily recognized claims were relin-
pushed.
John Chisholm Is rich man to-day.
but wondrously prudent one. He
has long since withdrawn from the
club Of which he was q member. pre-
ferring to concentrate his time and at
tentions on his family and home. And
he and his still charming wife have
discovered a far more acceptable way
of using their generous income than in
tempting others to follow an extraya-
giant or fashionable lead.
1t was somehow SO significant. that
terrible temptation and timely warning
coming in connection with the Christ
day.
1t resulted in strong resolve on his
part to avoid setting an example in
his daily life and manner of living,
which have tendency to urge on
some hitherto upright but entangled
brother whose swift approach to like
yawning brink might not be arrested
by like timely warning.

The Medical and Surgical Reporter wants
more laws to prohibit the indiscriminate
traffic in narcotic drugs. 1t asks: ''How
many OF the feeble-minded and idiotic
children that cost the public thousands OF
dollars annually to maintain, are the log
ical results OF the use of narcotics2 God
only knows but man may feel sure that
the number is very great. In the name OF
humanity as well as for the interests OF
political economy. we emphatically say
that this diabolical traffic must be restrict
ed. and these would be moral and physical
suicides must be restrained from their
morbid and damning propensities." The
object and motive thus stated is good, be-
yond doubt, but the success or utility OF
prohibitory or restrictive laws remains a
matter OF grave question for doubt.-Dr.

When John Chisholm first faced the
vexing fact that the expenses of their
mode of living were exceeding his abil-
ity to meet them readily, he resolved
to have talk with his wife and adjust
matters on a firm, safe footing. But
every time he was about to breach the
trying subject it seemed as if by some
strange fatality the unsuspecting little
woman would ward off his serious
speech with some request SO apparently
reasonable that refusal would have ap-
peared yeritable meanness, and then
how could he dampen her light spirits
and begin denying the wishes it had
been such delight to crafty! And

priety or justice in advising retrench-
